I just got a honda pilot ex w/ leather, navi and voice command for $29.9k a month ago. People are buying the same model now for approx $28.5. It’s not tremendously quick (14.6 in the 1/4) and not terribly gas efficient (18/24) but its big and comfy. ---

I would pick up the mini just because they are the one car that you can buy new and sell for close to what you paid. They are very nice cars and an awesome bang for buck. Second choice would be the WRX ---

> [@Locutus](#): > > meh, i was looking into that Saab for a while now… they are spunky little cars and they are basically a WRX with leather and more luxury. Hardly more luxury. You can get a WRX Limited Wagon with leather. The interiors are pretty much identical with the exception of the emblem on the steering wheel. With the WRX you get standard 17" wheels and 4/2 pot calipers. No Navi but the 92x doesn’t have it either. [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/need-some-car-advice/12200.md?page=1)
